Say you have three users who have accounts on your system, but their
primary accounts are elsewhere. Now you want their email headers to
be rewritten by *sendmail* to appear to come from their other provider
so that it will be correct no matter what email client they use.
This took me quite a while to figure out in sendmail. It requires (as
far as I could tell) rewrite rules at just the right places to catch
the relevant cases, both their fully qualified address, and their
abbrevated local address.
(I hear now there's a way to get sendmail to use a database for this,
but I haven't gotten that to work yet.)

Ease of configuration can directly impact the likelihood that the
program will be set up properly, and hence be secure.
